Woman Leader in SaaS” for 2018. The annual awards list honors 50
women leaders from the software as a service (SaaS) industry and is
compiled by The SaaS Report (TSR). TSR received over 3,500 nominations
for the 2018 list. Nominees were assessed across a number of key areas,

growth, among other areas.

“I am honored to be in the company of such extraordinary women business
leaders from the SaaS industry,” said Lin. “Our industry is driving
major changes in how people learn, work, and live, and I am proud to see
some of the most innovative SaaS companies being founded and led by
women.”

of the customer training industry, helping enterprise customers like
Cisco, Verizon and Tableau accelerate product adoption and deepen

round led by Mayfield and Shasta Ventures. Skilljar has also doubled
headcount this year and recently moved into new, larger offices in
Seattle.

the accomplishments of women in SaaS, software and the broader
technology field,” said TSR editors when releasing the list. “By shining

younger generation of women to aim high and achieve.”
